The uniformity of final moisture content within a drying timber batch is crucial. Lack of such
uniformity leads to undesirable moisture ranges, thus producing large percentages of over …

Different mass timber structures require a specific range of wood moisture. Thus, moisture
monitoring is a crucial quality control task during timber drying that impacts the properties …

The surface checks or internal cracks from drying could significantly affect the processing
and utilization of the wood. Therefore, it is of great significance to investigate the formation …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the moisture loss, diameter, and wood
density on the appearance of surface cracks and end splits in Eucalyptus urophylla logs …

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of the drying processes of forest
biomass, which is promising for energy purposes,-branches of various types of wood: birch …

This study aimed to examine the feasibility of evaluating the stress level at the surface of
lumber during drying using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy combined with artificial neural …

Compression wood in softwoods and tension wood in hardwoods have properties, which
adversely affect its usefulness for wood products. This chapter shows that reaction wood can …

This article reports an experimental and numeric methodology for studying the development
of internal stresses during drying of solid wood. For validation purposes, tests were …

This paper presents differences in the drying behavior of red oak and yellow-poplar
sapwood, heartwood, and bark and their relationship with selected physical characteristics …

Getting relevant parameter estimation of a non-linear model is often a hard task from both an
experimental and numerical point of view. The objective of optimally designed experiments …
